Simon - I'm rather lazy. I don't have the energy to analyze every
transaction to determine if the outcome met my expectations. In fact, as I
get older - 51 now, I temper my expectations, knowing that seredipity
often provides a more elegant solution. Many days are made better by the
unexpected, and of course, some worse. I follow the simple directive -
choose life.
I expect that part of being unorganized is an ability to capitalize on
unexpected outcomes. The psychology of humans does not require one for one
successful outcomes in order to continue habits. Once we've scored, we can
score again. People persist in the face of negative outcomes and
rejection.
Churchill defined success as the ability to go from one failure to the
next without loss of enthusiasm. Vision shows us a potential future. We
can stick with it and make it happen , prove others wrong. "Management by
objectives" is what unorganization suggests, but many do well with
"Objectives by results." Whatever we get is what we really wanted.
Declare success and move forward. Is that unorganization?
